Deckplate mod vs K&N FIPK

Anyone know if there is any performance differences or differences at all besides that the FIPK is priced around $250, and the Deckplate mod is pretty much free?

I've got a K&N FIPK ready to be installed, but, Im thinking about just selling it and performing the Deckplate Mod instead.

What do you guys think?

I've heard they are pretty much identical (7-8whp gain) and the deckplate mod comes in at about a bit over $200 cheaper and if you add a K&N or an Amsoil filter you still have over $150 in your pocket. The K&N is showy but it doesn't improve on the deckplate mod.

Here is where the advantage is, You can seal up the deckplate so it will be nice and dry when you hit the drink. the FIPK you are if you get it under the water from what I understand. To answer your question though, I do not know what the performance differience would be sorry.
